Response;
The Walkman was basically in a league of its own for a good 20 years, as it was the first of its kind, a portable music device that had people amazed by its mobility. It used video cassettes to play at the time, and eventually made its way to CD's. It was revolutionary in a way that it brought music to the world
Quote: "Jobs once demanded that a designer of a new Mac not allow a single visible screw. When the designer built a prototype that had one screw, tucked out of sight under a handle, Jobs fired him. Apple is the most design-savvy company in the world, and it's because of Steve Jobs, says Ray Riley, a former Apple designer who now runs Nike's Advanced Innovation Div."
